Degree plan: Early Childhood Education

[YankeeDoodle]

Hey, everybody! I need some help making a degree plan for Charter Oak State's Early Childhood Education program (Program Administration and Leadership emphasis.)

The prerequisites are not my concern. My concern is how I can cheaply and efficiently take equivalents to courses required, directly, for the degree. How can I test out of these or use cheaper means than simply taking the course through the University? All help is greatly appreciated!
